In honor of your death day, I'm using you to introduce my seniors to Hamlet. I have only time for two songs, so I will do Dear Mama and Mama's just a Little Girl. Hopefully this will give them a sense of the depth your music contains.

In Africa we still bump Bob Marley and Tupac. I heard your music about struggle and strife, I identified. You could have used your time on earth better than u did, for u were powerfull beyond measure. Well I guess that`s the story of every torted soul. RIP my brother, u still live in Africa

The reason why you will never be forgotten is because your great thinking mind will stay alive.You still insprire me through your songs, poetry and the things you have said.The world screwed up by letting you go, what you said is true: I wil change the world or the world will have to force me to change.You changed the world baby! and your message Killuminatie will live on.Love you!

I was modelling in Milan for my first ever mens show collections season and was modelling at Romeo Gili show. It was a large show in a massive warehouse in Milan and there must have been 200 models there. We were backstage and I saw someone who looked familiar, this handsome young black man in a Gili gold colored suit was backstage and I saw him and yelled out to him .. &quot; het what the f$uck are you doing here nigger&quot;? he laughed so hard.. later that night at a D&amp;G fashion party he was there with his body guards dancing and sipping champaign when we saw eachother and he invited me in to a roped off stage for him and VIP we chatted and drank champaign and danced together.. he had a real look of sadness in hi eyes that I never forget.. shortly after he was gunned down.. I will never forget his beautiful character and demeanor.. and yes that experience and his eyes. like they knew time for him was up!rip brother..
